(Greenfield) Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II and his wife Maria announced on Thursday that the 100th Freedom Rock will be located at Adventureland Park in Altoona.
In 1999, Ray Sorensen painted the original Freedom Rock in Adair County. Over the past two decades, the artist and his family toured the state of Iowa painting giant boulders in all 99 Iowa counties as a thank you to our nation’s veterans to honor their service to our country. After finishing the tour, Sorensen decided to cap it off with the 100th Freedom Rock. The Sorensen’s conducted an auction, and the family accepted a $20,000 bid. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Puppy Jake Foundation and T.A.P.S. Foundation.
The 100th Freedom Rock® is slated for completion on or around July 4, 2022.
Sorensen and his family will now focus on a Freedom Rock in every state, adding to Freedom Rocks already placed in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Washington, and Nebraska. Projects are scheduled for Ohio, Illinois, and Oklahoma.
